15 inches of Snow And No Food In The House

[Medusa]

We had 14 feet of sunshine today!

I got your sunshine right here, pal. I can't even get to my firewood. We got all that snow, then sleet, so it froze everything, now more snow is on the way. I've been fairly housebound because of the bathroom remodel (please don't ask; I'm liable to start shrieking) so I'm sure I've gained weight because there's nothing to do but eat. Can't get my work done, can't watch TV, can't read due to all the noise and dust and commotion. I had to tell a client that I'd get back to her in a few days. That's always good for business. Surprisingly, the Fur Posse is as calm as can be. So I've got that goin' for me. Sunshine. Yes, I'd love some, please.

I'm so glad you got to the store ok! We got a foot of snow here. I'm about 3 hours south west of you. We didn't stock up a whole lot either. Our weatherman is always wrong. It's ok though! We live one block from our town grocery store. I walked. I did get a face full of snow on my way back home.

We are suppose to get another inch of snow tonight too. A lot of trees and power lines are down because of ice. A lot of people around here don't have power or phones. Won't either until the middle of next month. We were very lucky and still have our power and phone. I feel so bad for everyone with no heat.

Here's what will probably happen if you don't have enough pet food on hand during such times:

We don't get snow in my part of Australia but I was under the impression that it was common sense to keep more than one or two days worth of food in the house. The cat and I would survive for up to six months if we had to.

LOL I love that cartoon. It's very true too.

This person knows cats.

It's the "Mutts" comic strip. The guy who does it, Patrick McDonnell, REALLY knows cats!

BTW,

I'll probably be varnished instead of embalmed, my skin will be so tough from the UV rays.....

I havve always loved MUTTS. It's a grand old strip!

We got slammed here in Kentucky. In our area 8 inches of snow with at least 2 inches of sleet/freezing rain build up. Power outages for over a day for many. Thankfully, only 3 hrs for us. Tomorrow we will have our driveway dug out. It looks like a war zone around town with all the down limbs from the ice build up. Schools have been closed since Tuesday. If I here freezing rain/sleet forcast anytime soon, I'm going to scream.

HOw can I put 15 inches of sun where it don't shine?



Explain that one to me, please?

It's felt like the frozen tundra here for weeks now and we're supposed to get more snow in a couple of days. I've had my driveway plowed four times in one week. It's the animals that I feel sorry for. When it was -15, even the birds didn't come out to feed. When the temp finally went above zero, they ate everything I put out, birdseed, bread crumbs, left over Christmas cookies, gone in a day. The squirrels eat the dried ears of corn so fast it's scary. There's also a tuxie that comes around occasionally and last week I saw him sniffing at the bird seed that fell on the ground, so I put out some cat food but he didn't touch it. I also put out a warm shelter but he didn't go in so he must belong to someone but who would let their cat out in such awful, brutal weather?
